Raptors would be very foolish to not trade both Siakam and Anunoby before the deadline. Otherwise, they'll lose them both for nothing in the summer.

Barnes is your F, going forward. Try to acquire a C and/or a G to pair with him.

Reed or Melton?

Reed had like two or three buckets in his eye from Barnes and you’d think he’d be better qualified to defender him with his size/length.

Nights like these serve as good reminders that he's not a starter in this league. Awesome 3rd/4th guard though.

Yeah he belongs as the 3rd guard. Not reliable enough on offense. Low key cost us game 6 vs. BOS by bricking open shots left and right.

Scoutie starting to develop that jumper.

Is that YOCK from State Farm?

Barnes reminds me of a young Paul Pierce

He’s a fake defensive guard. He gets deflections and can close out decently, but Siakam just blew by him, forcing Embiid to leave Poeltl, giving him an easy bunny at the rim. Good defenders deny that drive.

Scottie Barnes is a great athlete. Can't stay in front of Maxey. But OG can despite being the same size as Scottie. OG is a scary mfer. Elite athlete and strength. The exact guy we need to stay in front of the Boston wings.

too much Melton

like I said new PJ in terms of being the weak link in the starting lineup (followed by Oubre tonight tbf)

Why are we using Melton as an initiator?

He shouldn't be guarding big wings full time if anything.

…getting cooked by Schroeder too.

RJ Barrett and YOCK PURTLE have the best "dumb glare" looks in the league.

Mik317 · Post #117 » by **Mik317** » Fri Nov 3, 2023 12:38 am

next step now that we have wing bodies is for Maxey to be the only small body.... Pat Bev tries but is tiny and old lol

Because he's our 2nd best point guard :/
